Air services must be secured

18 August 2014

Tourism Council WA CEO Evan Hall has expressed concern with the ongoing viability of regional aviation services following a shake-up of competition and services in regional towns like Exmouth, Esperance and Albany.

Virgin has today announced their intention to reduce aviation services to Albany and Esperance

“Aviation services for non-mining towns are under strain” said Mr Hall.

“We are seeing less competition and reduced number of flights” said Mr Hall.
